Alright, I give - What the hell does FÜKNGRÜVEN mean?
Gary Kercheck
I see this damn sticker on every other new VW these days
and today I saw a white Golf with a custom plate that
just said "GRÜVEN". What is this supposed to mean? Is
it some vague gen-X takeoff on the "Fahrvergnugen" phrase
or does it translate to something real?

Do you usually see a little figure sort of gettin' down, instead of the
usual little figure in a driving position? The bumpersticker usually will
say fukengruven, not blanked out as you showed. And yes, it is a play on
words off of Fahrvergnugen, the joy of driving.

I think it means Funk and Groovin.. you spelled it wrong in the subject.
it's FUNKNGRUVEN (I don't know how get the dots above the U), and yes, it's
a take off on Farhvergnugen.

No, no, no. It really stands for Fuckin' Groovin', as in Fukengruven.
Yeah, it's not factory authorized, but hey!

I'm presently wearing a shirt that says Farfromnörmal. It has the

He's sitting on a toilet holding a bottle of EZ-poop.

It's too bad that someone actually responded with an answer. I liked the "I

It's also too bad that the question had to be asked in the first place.

Nope, it's FUKNGRUVEN. Look for it on your next drive over the river and

I personally hate this one. If there were enough room on a
bumper-sticker,
I'd want it to say:
Remember that honor student your kid beat up
years ago? He now makes $100K a year. Better
than your $7.50/hour punk who can't hold down

Thanks to everyone who replied to this. I feel I blend
with the VW crowd much better now that I'm hip to the
FÜKN prefix and its variations.
As far as other noteworty bumber stickers, my new favorite
is one that looks like a lifeguard sign and reads:
YOU!
Out of the gene pool, now!
I think I'm going to buy one of these and send it to Weir.

Now why did you have to go and add the virgin part in there? I happen to
be one of the practically extinct people who believe in abstainance until
marriage. Yes, I have morals.
